Dive attack. If the Aarakocra is flying and dives at least 30 feet straight toward a target and then hits it with a melee weapon, the attack deals an extra 3 (1d6) damage to the target. 

 Big beak. A pelican Aarakocra’s beak can hold one tiny creature or object, and can store 3 gallons of water. It’s stomach is only half the size of its beak. 

Professional diver. To protect themselves while diving, Pelican Aarakocra have powerful head, neck, and shoulder muscles. They have resistance to bludgeoning damage when diving as a result. 

Hold breath. A pelican Aarakocra can hold their breath for 30 minutes. 

Desalination. Pelican Aarakocras can drink saltwater. 

Bite. The Pelican Aarakocra makes a bite attack. This attack does 1d6 piercing damage. 

Swallow. The Pelican Aarakocra makes one bite attack against a tiny target. If the attack hits, the target is swallowed, and the grapple ends. The swallowed target is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the pelican aarakocra, and it takes 10 (3d6) acid damage at the start of each of the pelican Aarakocra’s turns. The pelican Aarakocra can have only one target swallowed at a time. If the aarakocra dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse, exiting prone.
